The New p**nographers - Darling Shade lyrics

When you add your voice to bad choices Then you're not-so-white becomes mannered Stripping down the walls like quicksilver Dripping down as slowly as solvent And for you, the Pulitzer Prize For stepping into traffic Now anew the Americas You broke through, you're laughing We have found no use for the profane Searching for the gods in our corners With the ignorance of a poet An unbreakable focus of mortars Darling shade our shadows Darling shade, a shadow Was it singing from the bad choices Or is it singing without a pretense When you give your mind to your voices You accept the terms of your sentence And for you the Pulitzer Prize For time served, you're walking And now, anew the Americas You broke through, it's nothing Darling shade our shadow You can get to climb the new tower Thinking you could learn a new language Don't you want to turn a few favors Since you left everybody hanging Darling shade our shadows
